Workshop: Profiles and Portraits
People are the foundation of any narrative: whether a novel, a work of journalism, or a memoir. Learning how to write characters with empathy and ethics is a skill that can be applied to almost any area of study. This eight-week online writing workshop is for nonfiction and fiction writers interested in sharpening their skills when writing about people. Whether you want to craft compelling profiles, develop memorable characters, or bring real individuals to life on the page, this course will help you hone your craft. It is open to all levels.
Starts April 12.
Story Pitch Review
I have written for nearly every major American newspaper and magazine and almost all of those stories were cold pitches. Over more than a decade of pitching, I’ve come up with a highly successful cold pitch formula. Send me your pitch for review, and I’ll help you get on the right track.
Book Proposal Review
Selling a non-fiction book proposal is a stressful and daunting process — and it’s usually completed without any help of any kind. I’d like to change that. I’ve written two successful nonfiction book proposals that both sold at auction to Big Four publishing houses. I’ll edit your book proposal and send you an in-depth editorial memo to get you one step closer to publication.
Price is based on page count and starts at $500 for 50 pages.
